Francesca Harper on Storytelling as Activism

Choreographer and Ailey II artistic director Francesca Harper joins to discuss her upcoming premiere, "The Reckoning," commissioned by Ava DuVernay's Law Enforcement Accountability Project. A response to Detroit police officer Joseph Weekly's killing of 7-year-old Aiyana Mo'Nay Stanley-Jones, "The Reckoning" is both a work of art and a work of activism.
